But talking about Strategic Gain + Low operational cost is like mixing Old-monk with Vat69 . When you talk of Low operational cost - and plan to purchase Fighter like Typhoon,Hornet,Rafale ( They are The most costly to operate ) --------Laughable Low operational cost fits more to Gripen,F16...

Do you believe IAF official would spell out such critical details , that too in open to Ministry in Brazil ( heck not even Defence personal ) I think he is simply Fibbing

Missed this in replying Actually - what matters is Recoil length , Firing rate , Extended Sustained firing rate . This is where Bhim scored heavily against other foreign systems . Not sure about utility of reward firing missing from Archer . Usually don't see back shot fired often

Red part is impossible now bcoz - Indian towed-gun deal hits another snag - UPI.com quoting from link above - Denel was and now rhienmetal is History Laws have gone strict with blacklisting in defence sector . With Hon Def Min Antony around - Impossible for Rhienmetal to win law suite...

Hard to believe , but if he is honestly genuine . Then , Rafale would be leading the trials along with Gripen & F16 . And then i think Santro + Aviation week & ST are wrong about that rumored Mirage use for trials . I still can't believe IAF chief would spell out so much details , that to...

Never know what surprise Forums can offer some time . This particular Gentleman claims to know about Leh trials more than anyone . Cross posting from key pub http://forum.keypublishing.com/showpost.php?p=1612913&postcount=927 :woot:

GPS , only . That was my point - Buying Europe dosen't give you autonomous guidance independent of Americans . You have to deal with US anyway whether you buy it from them or not . Saying Rafale is better bcoz not American - Difficult to swallow . Even R73 uses Texas instrument's...

Dash Ji , I said WSI Dhruv , not LCH . Weaponed dhruv did same - A2A firing of Mistral . And only TD-2 of LCH will be used for Weapon trials , which is yet to see the Indian skies . May be by end of 2010 LAHAT was used in trials . No update whether trials are over or not . Once it is...
